To anyone who says they are afraid of needles I have to say this – get over yourself. I understand that a small child will be afraid of getting poked with a needle. This is natural for all of us. But for grown adults to whine and cry about being afraid of a simple injection, I just feel sorry for them! Act like a grown-up, you wimps! I work at a facial spa, and every day I apply face masks to older women who need a whole lot more help than a face mask can give them! I always suggest things like regenerative injectables, or botox, and so many of these people say “oh I can’t, I’m afraid of needles.” Lady, you should be more afraid of looking like that! Sorry that I sound so bitter, but I can’t say things like this to the customers at the facial spa, no matter how much I want to. I calmly explain to my customers that skin care begins beneath the surface, and they will never have truly amazing skin without regenerative injectables. If you need stitches, would you settle for a Band Aid? No, of course not! If you need deep-down skin care, you can’t settle for facials and mud masks. There are anti-aging injections, botox shots, and more, but no matter what you choose, it has to start beneath the surface! Personally I don’t care for botox injections, because it’s a toxin. A useful toxin, but a toxin nonetheless. I indulge in platelet rich plasma injections, and feel they give me a youthful glow.
